Emoji: 😯

The emotion evolves in two stages, but it's the same underlying feeling.

Bad Examples👇👇👇

Emoji: 😘

A kiss, but not quite a kiss. The emotion behind the fragment is a lot more complex and can’t be reduced to 😘.

Emoji: 😞

Not mere sadness. “Resignation in the face of unfavorable odds”? “Alright, whatever”? The emotion behind the fragment is a lot more complex and can’t be reduced to 😞.

Fragments must actually show the correct emotion.

Good Examples 👇👇👇

Emoji: 😡

Clearly angry, unmistakable.

Emoji: 😨

Clearly afraid, unmistakable.

Bad Examples 👇👇👇

Emoji: 😨

Looks like indifference, not fear.

Emoji: 😱

Expresses anger, not shock or surprise.

Fragments should be an example of a great suggestion you'd get when typing the given emoji as input — showing the same literal action isn't enough.

Good Example 👇👇👇

Emoji: 🤦

This reaction is relevant, it's a response to someone being naïve or unreasonable.

Bad Examples 👇👇👇

Emoji: 😎

There are sunglasses in this scene, but it's not a good suggestion for the emoji, it depicts puzzlement, not "being cool".

Emoji: 🤌

The emoji could superficially describe this fragment, but the emotional content doesn’t match.

Emoji: 🤯

A head explodes, but there's no amazement or surprise.

Fragments must be long enough to properly show the emotion they represent.

Bad Examples 👇👇👇

Emoji: 🤔

The fragment is too short to express anything properly.

Emoji: 😡

The fragment is too short to express anything properly.

Phase 2: Relevance
Judging Criteria

Read this post for information about Community Evaluation.

The task in this phase is to evaluate whether videos accurately represent the chosen emoji and are expressive enough to convey the emotion behind it.

👍 = video accurately represents the emotion behind the chosen emoji
👎 = video doesn't represent the chosen emoji

We're looking for videos that would be a good suggestion for someone looking to express the chosen emotion in a chat.

The video must express a reasonably close emotion to its emoji. It is acceptable if the underlying emotion is correct, but a better-matching emoji exists in the same range. (e.g. 😡 / 😠 or 😢/ 😥).

Acceptable reaction videos:

1. Show the correct emotion. Some videos may be visually similar to an emoji but express a completely different emotion.
✅ Good Examples, 🚫 Bad Examples

2. Convey the emotion clearly and unmistakably.
✅ Good Examples, 🚫 Bad Examples

3. Express a single emotion. Some videos show a more complex situation or state of mind that can't be described with the chosen emoji.
✅ Good Examples, 🚫 Bad Examples

4. Describe the emotion behind the emoji. It is not enough to show a visually similar action. It is acceptable to show a visually different action with the correct emotional payload.

5. Have sufficient length to properly convey the emotion.
